 Okay.

points are silliness

They used to be as valuable as bitcoin.

which is a rofl

CHESSMASTERorCM, if you have not found it already: points simply show how "active" chess.com members are. You get a point for every forum response, forum post, blogs (I think too, but not certain) and so forth. However, these points mean nothing other than to show this activity outside of chess games - with nothing to exchange for these points, so they simply collect. Still not a bad idea though, although a cool idea would be if one could exchange points for a discounted premium membership, or something else. However, this may cause other problems though such as people posting many "one word responses" to boost points - or by creating worthless forums etc. 

Ah, thanks. Solved, thanks to all that came.

You get a point every time you post on a blog, forum, club, or someones page.

Look at your points, post three temporary notes on your profile, refresh the page and you'll get three more points. Try it.

Truth.

If you're a fan of the TV show, "Whose Line is it Anyway?", the idea of points here will be familiar to you.

This discovery totally changed 1mg's life ...

You are like more than extremely right.

The site should plot the rise in points over time. Then people could complain that their points aren't going up as fast as they should be.

Why not remove the pointless points?

but that would be pointless

So it would be.

Makes sense, removing the points that are pointless.

yeah agreed
